And Dragon, I hope I am doing justice to your plot demon!

Chapter 2

No.

Oh, please God no.

Please… PLEASE!

I held you close to me, even though I knew nothing I did would bring you back to me.

The next few hours passed like a blur - like a movie put on fast forward - in front of my eyes.

I remember holding you in my arms, and you going limp right in front of me. You have no idea how much you scared me, Yami.

Then I remember the hospital. I don't know how we got there. Might have been some act on Yugi's friends part, I don't know. All I cared about at that moment was you being safe.

I scared myself that night as well actually. I was scared feeling this way about someone. Never in my life have I ever felt the way I felt for you in those last few hours of your life. Of course, at the time I didn't know that it would be the last hours that I would spend with you. I thought that you would come out of the hospital room, smiling and smirking and telling me in that smug voice that I know so well that there was never any reason to worry at all.

I thought you would come out and make it all better - then everything would be alright again.

But of course, happy endings like that is suitable only for the cinema and theatres.

I knew from the moment the doctor emerged from the room that something terrible had happened. I knew it, but I didn't want to hear it because then it would be true.

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Moto died… loss of blood… did all we could to save him… we are sorry Mr. Kaiba."

I can't remember much after that moment. The moment that could very well top the worst of my life.

I can't, even now, looking back on it all, I cannot believe that you were snatched away from me.

You always believed in fate. When we were duelling during Duellist Kingdom and Battle City, that's all you ever talked about. But I bet that you couldn't even believe that just when the gods drew us together, they pulled us apart. And in the worst ways ever.

So that was it. The shortest chapter in the history of the world. But I promise that the next chapter will be longer.
Please review, but don't flame!
